Well as hard as it is to say, if they can’t take out the pirates at the risk of also taking out the Captain it must be done.
If it comes down to the O letting them go back to Somali with the Captain it’s going to be hell for this American Citizen any way you look at it.
Wonder what the POTUS O would be doing if these “pirates” would have boarded a 1500 cruise ship with a large majority being innocent victims?
IMHO, there would be no difference. Gutless is gutless. Besides anybody able to afford a cruise like that would fall under his 100% "tax 'em to DEATH plan" anyway so what's the dif if they die by pirate or the IRS forces them into suicide?
Negative. That's probably not an option at this juncture, simply because I'm virtually certain there is a way to rescue the captain and crew alive while still taking out the pirates. We can war game it all we want from the FR peanut gallery, but believe me the pros have it all worked out and timed to the second. All that is required is a "green light." Travis McGee could verify this. But I'm afraid that the green light will never be lit with this POTUS. I doubt very much if this would have even been tried under Bush. Well, WIMP is an acronym, you know:
